high Nessus Plugin ID 330283

Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:3245-1 advisory.

 - CVE-2026-7210: insufficient entropy used for Expat hash-flooding protection allows a crafted XML document to trigger hash flooding (bsc#1264962).
 - CVE-2026-8328: server-supplied PASV host address is trusted by `ftpcp()` and allows for SSRF (bsc#1265268).
 - CVE-2026-11940: tarfile extraction filter bypass via a crafted archive allows escaping the destination directory and enables arbitrary file reads and writes (bsc#1268977).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
